Nandu Entertainment Weekly reported on Nanfang + reporter Wang Xintong
Whether to strictly enforce the law to eliminate the fire hazard that endangers the lives of tens of thousands of people, or to be accommodating to seek the approval of the "father-in-law", how will you choose as a fire prevention staff officer?
On May 25th, the premiere of "The Main Theme Light Comedy" "Flame danger" co-directed by Si Zhaoxin and Han Dong was held in Guangzhou, starring Liu Mingming and Li Xinyi, and the main actors Guo Dongwen, Si Zhaoxin, Zhang Yiru, Zhang Guisen, Lin Haihai, Ge Yi, Cai Wei and so on attended the event.
It is reported that the movie "Blazing Danger" will be released nationwide on May 28.
The main creative members of "Blazing Danger" conducted on-site exchanges.
Close to the daily life of firefighting work, the director has been deeply involved in firefighting for decades
At the scene of the premiere event, there were many spectators from the fire rescue team. According to the filming team, the story of the film is based on and filmed in Guangzhou. The Guangzhou Fire Rescue Detachment gave support during the filming process. Many firefighters personally participated in the performance of the film, and together with the actors, they performed a story of fire emergency rescue that was both bloody and warm.

Director Si Zhaoxin is also one of the screenwriters and stars of the film. He has directed the same fire-themed 30-episode TV series "Fiery Youth". In an interview with reporters, he said that he has been in contact with shooting fire-related films for 20 or 30 years, and his son also works in the fire department. Therefore, he is very familiar with the life of fire rescue team members, and he also has a deep affection for the theme of fire rescue. In order to prepare for the film, he stayed in the fire rescue team for half a year.
"The film does not reflect the thrilling firefighting scene, but another battlefield without gun smoke, and the story of firefighters working together with all sectors of society to eliminate fire hazards." Cui Gang, director of the Publicity Department of the Fire Prevention Department of the Guangdong Provincial Fire Rescue Corps, shared on the spot that filming in 2017 left valuable video data before the reform and transformation of the fire rescue team.

From "elimination" to "prevention", create a new model of firefighting film theme
The reporter found in the movie that "Blazing Danger" did not set up too many grand firefighting scenes. What really promotes the development of the plot is a series of conflicts and accidents that occur when the protagonist Li Deloitte is transferred to the fire prevention staff, when balancing work and life. Unlike the protagonists of most fire-related films, Li Deloitte's daily work is to supervise fire protection and assist the management unit in formulating fire extinguishing emergency evacuation plans.

"At first, Li Deloitte did not like his new position, but as he gradually adapted and deepened into fire prevention, I also learned more about the importance of fire prevention." An audience member told reporters while watching the film that the film incorporates a lot of fire safety common sense, and it is a film that is both interesting and informative.
"The most difficult part of fire supervision is how to persuade profit-oriented regulators to increase costs in order to prevent fires that do not necessarily occur. In addition, how to deal with various human relationships, adhere to their own principles and bottom line. Si Zhaoxin said that the various difficulties in the fire supervision work shown in the film stem from the material accumulated in his long-term communication with the fire protection system staff.
The unique perspective of "Blazing Danger" has also been recognized by experts. Some professionals have commented that in the past, the "fire narrative" films often centered on a disaster-level fire, focusing on the development of fire occurrence and the process of fighting fires to show the heroic behavior of firefighters in extinguishing fires and saving people at the fire scene. "Blazing Danger" focuses on the daily fire prevention work of firefighters and explores the "daily narrative" of firefighting films.

At the beginning of the film, the firefighters work together to rescue the woman who is in the pain of unbearable love and wants to lose her life. The funny dialogue caused a burst of laughter on the scene of the movie, which shows the light comedy style of this main theme commercial film.
Rescue frustrated people who intend to take their lives by the river, rescue kittens trapped in high places, and fire rescue teams are taking on more and more rescue tasks outside of firefighting. In addition to fully showing all aspects of the firefighter's work, the film's large number of life-like paragraphs and popular dialogue also make the image of the firefighter more three-dimensional. With fire fighting as the background, the film tells an interesting and touching story between father and daughter, lovers and comrades-in-arms, focusing on the contradictions and conflicts between characters, showing the reasonable choices in fire protection work.
"Blazing Danger" starred Liu Mingming.
"In the past, firefighters always seemed to be more serious in my impression, and when filming "Blazing Danger", I deeply understood the interesting and wonderful stories of many firefighters in their daily lives, and also found their lively and humorous side." Liu Mingming, the star of this film, said. With a tough image, Liu Mingming played the honest and kind but not flexible Li Deloitte in the film. He has starred in TV series such as "Parental Love" and "Moscow Action", and appeared on the stage of "Spring Festival Gala" in 2020.
